What happens if I interrupt Regen?

What happens if you stop a regen? Regeneration, or regen, of the DPF filter, is the process that burns the soot accumulation that is inside the DPF filter. If you can no longer start a regen then you will eventually get stuck in a derate which will then lead to an engine shut down.

What happens when you don’t do a Regen?

When does the Regen start on a 07?

Regens started with EPA07. Many 07’s do not have it, they were preorders from 06. It’s just like Bayle said. There is a soot filter in the muffler called a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). When soot levels get high, the regeneration burns it out.

What does it mean to do a parked Regen?

However with a lot of idle or city driving it builds up and usually there is a light on the dash that tells you it needs to do a parked regen. That means you park hit a button and the engine revs up gets the exhaust really hot and burns it out. I’m not great at these explanations, best I can do.
